NOTES: [/color][/b] This card, it has a relative high cost, but not so much high attack while 5 hp. The reason for 5 hp is because it is not easily kill by opponent (fire storm), but it can be sapped by your own lightning. The low attack compensates the fact that when it die it will produce some extra hp. Please note, when the Spark/Ball Lightning comes into play during enemies turn, they do not die until the end of players turn. (Just like how flooding/inundation works, for example) As for the art, this is one of the EPIC3 image, I changed to hue the more aether color, then highlighted slight the image outline to emphasis the mysteriousness of the women

hmm i like it, this combined with boneyards and bonewalls an ROF, super big bonewall.

Stargazer Immolation Condor deck, anybody? Tricky to pull off, but it would be pretty good.

I actually think it costs a bit much. I wouldn't mind the costs of both of them to go down to 7 or even 6 . After all, it's tricky to kill.

Great AETHER set and it really makes for some nice synergies.

3 is a magic number, you can aderaline it for 12 damage, besides if its aderalined and it gets poisoned, it just dies quicker hahahahaha

So, when the Sparks/Balls of Lightning die as well, more come into play?

I'm torn here:  I want to like this card since I like  , but it something doesn't seem right.

Is the cost too high?  It's infinitely cheaper to play 3 sparks for 0 cost than 8+1 (lightning) for the same result.  So maybe it's just for an end-game attack boost?  Hmmm..... But why not just use Immortals/Phase dragons?  Sure, you'd have to wait another turn or so for a dragon, but it would have >3x the attack right off the bat.

But if you lower the cost too much....it'd be tempting to fractal it (particularly the upgrade).  You'll burn one first turn (or maybe hold a Tower to play) then next turn play 4 upped cards and sacrifice them yielding 12 Ball lightnings resulting in 60 damage.

But wait--why use fractal when you can Twin Universe and do it all same turn?  8+6+6+6  yields 4 upped stargazers, then lightning to set it off.  I'm sure the clever player will determine the right ratio of phase shields/towers to set this up effectively.

I think the unique value this card has is a sort of creature control deterrence (RoF in particular) but this is not a real issue for anyway.  Sorry, don't mean to be a downer on the card, but I'm not creative enough to see how to build it into an effective deck as is.

this card makes your opponent think twice about killing it, and you can nuke it if you need the sparks

[Kuroaitou]

Just a thematic question I had (my card is similar in that it also produces sparks/ball lightnings, but based on logical reasons): How does a 'Stargazer' produce electrical current if it's killed?

[kalkiran]

'maybe when you look at stars the energy given off by them that moves through the aether towards you induces and alternating electrical current in you...'
oh no...children this is an example of why not too combine alchemical terms astronomy and the year nine topic: wireless energy transfer, in one sentence. lol
Ive got no idea why but it ia definately a good balanced card that has good in element synergy.
